Hello guys,

We had our appointment on April 22nd at 7:30am.

I'm now at the lobby of Bayview Hotel across the embassy 12:30pm and writing this post about my experience before I leave the hotel.

We finished our interview at around 11:15am and before I go out and start celebrating with my family and fiance, I want to update you fellow VJ'ers because I know how important these posts are to you who are having their interview on April 23rd, 24th and 25th.

I'll skip all the specific details about filling in line and getting your ticket number etc because its pretty much self explanatory.

But before you get into the embassy, have your appointment letter with one valid ID before you enter the Embassy.

Today we met up with about a dozen VJ members including Sandy, Prime & Ryan... ETC. Sorry for those I do not remember, because I didnt really ask for everyonnes profile.

I was surprised to see that there were about 100 K-1, K-2, K-3 who were interviewed today because I wasn't expecting that many who are scheduled.

Before you get your ticket # in the que. Have all these prepared before you reach the window. (about 1 hour wait)

2 copies of DS-156 (paste the picture and sign the applicant signature),

2 copies of DS-157 (one from the bank that is validated, and the one that you filled up yourself)

1 copy DS-156K

After this step, you wait to get scanned for finger prints. (about 30 mins wait)

The most important are the documents that the pre-screener asked for.

I was asked if I was the petitioner. Second, if my fiance has been married before. Third, they requested for Birth Certificate, NBI Clearance, 2007 ITR (1040) most recent and the affidavit of support. Lastly, they asked my fiance if she worked out side the Philippines.

They did not ask for the Cenomar, Check Stubs, W-2s, letters, email. I brought 3 years of ITR and W-2s but were not necessary. They only asked for the most recent 1040 2007 ITR.

The pre screener did ask for pictures, but we had enough with the petition that we submitted with the I-129F. After the pre-screen we sat back down and waited about more than 30 mins for our ticket # to be called for the final interview.

Then we waited to be called for the CO.

The CO that interviewed my fiance asked me to step outside the door and leave all my documents with my fiance. Most of the petitioners who did attend were admitted in the interview room, but I wasnt able to go inside.

The interview took about 5 mins while I waited outside. The CO was very nice and asked these question.

First question, the CO asked about my parents (petitioner) what do they do for a living.

Second question, if my fiance was married or pregnant before

Third question is on how we met.

Forth question, CO asked about the restaurant that we went to when we first met.

Fifth question, CO asked where he can buy a good egg tart.

Sixth question, CO asked if my fiance knew this other bake shop

Seventh question, CO asked if my fiance has been to the US.

Eight question, CO asked about the denied tourist visa she applied for June of 2007. (if my fiance's intention was to visit me) My fiance said NO.

Last question, CO asked how we communicate.

Then CO was writing, he quickly said that we were approved!!! The whole interview lasted for 3-5 mins. We really didn't time it, but my fiance said it was very easy and the CO was very nice. we were at window 32.

We asked for a visa pickup but the CO says they no longer let people pick up the visa.

The CO asked why we need the VISA pickup, and we said because we have our reservation and we will be leaving on May 2nd. The CO says he will try his best that we get our visa before that because they are no longer allowing visa pick up.

We then filled and paid for Delbros to deliver our visa with others who got approve with the PINK SLIP. Everyone seemed to have gotten approved. I didnt see any white slips. Also, I see people smiling after their interviews which means they got the approval.

For everyone who will be having their interviews this week or in the future. My advise is to just relax and have all your documents ready. Do not be nevrous or worry too much.

If you have all your documents ready you will be approved. Also, get your DOC verification early, we paid for our doc verification March 6th and NSO received it on March 17th. (do this early so there will not be a problem).

Thank you all for all those who have helped here in VJ. I wish everyone the best in your future interview and I hope what I have written down can help you get that approval.

Doc-
